The Indian Penal Code (2 Volumes) by Ram Jethmalani and D.S. Chopra is about the history of the Indian Penal Code prevailing in British India that commences with the year 1833, the year that followed the Reform Bill, a period which was full of law reform in general and criminal law in particular. Indirectly the Indian Penal Code owed its origin to Bentham the most well-known jurist of the day on the subject of law reform. James Mill the favourite disciple of Bentham had written the history of British India under the influence of Bentham's ideas. The Code reflects the thinking of these two jurists. Thus the year 1833 was a landmark in the history of codification in India. The Charter Act of 1833 introduced a single legislature for the whole of British India.
